It's crazy that EA gave a studio full of extreme ideologues tens of millions to make this.

Let's assume this underperforms and BioWare doesn't shut down. What happens with Mass Effect? They just try again with this crap?

I bet it has to sell 2m copies in launch window(so full price 70usd) only to break even :P

Hey not trying to defend the game here. But she's a dwarf count yourself lucky she doesn't have a beard, and also she looks largely unchanged from her appearance in inquisition. Lots of terrible looking characters in this game but I don't find her objectionable.

This guy's schtick is releasing "reviews" that aren't and often before launch for those not in the know.
 
Lmao, theres only like 2 reviews from people who have good taste. Final proof theres not a single honest "news outlet" that has consumers money and time on their mind.

Shame ACG didnt get to review it, good thing at least SkillUp did a great in-depth video, crazy that it is so hard to find reviewers with some integrity and standards.
 
I'm not going say anything specifically , but the images in this thread make no sense in the context of a medieval game. It looks absolutely shoehorned in, and smells like agenda, not creativity.

100%. Management signed off on developing a game with a trans director who had a major interest in incorporating LGBT issues into the design. It's not her fault that she made the game she was interested in making. That's what creatives do.

If you hand me 100 million dollars with no oversight you can expect a hardcore immersive sim with a Dark Souls interconnected world and mature themes.

And some boobies, right? Right?

I saw 2 reviews of the game (ppl that have the same taste as me) not recommending the game, and i came here and saw a lot of 10´s, i was confused... This vídeo makes sense, even more so since this is a EA game.

Sorry about my english.

Man, Bioware and Bethesda both turning out utter shit, it's so unbelievably depressing.

Its not like this happened overnight. Both their last outputs and releases prior haven't been exemplary - see ME Andromeda, Anthem and Fallout 76.

A lot of the creatives and talent who made the old games have left years ago.

Sounds like it suffers from the same issue that most modern western AAA titles have fallen victim to recently: stiff, wooden, play-it-safe character dialogue and interactions. The first 3 minutes of the Skill Up review summarizes this pretty well. That's a bummer.

SkillUP is one of the few I agree with quite a few times, and he doesn't recommend it but he does say YMMV.

The problem with Veilguard are the pre release EA antics towards outlets, and the rampant astroturfing. The best way to judge is to watch a playthrough or go with member impressions you know are genuine and usually on point.
 
The combat looks pretty fun so I'm eventually getting it, but I'm not paying launch price to experience that kind of writing.

Tbh I have trans friends who will probably cringe as fuck at this and see it as a regression for LGBT representation.

right? I have to think that most normal people don't want artless heavy handed moralizing + treating certain characters with kid gloves, regardless whether it's in service of a viewpoint they agree with.
 
After watching Skill Up's review amidst everything what I remember the most is the one word I never want to hear about a game.

Banality.
 
The way this game is being pushed by the media while looking, sounding and having extreme writing issues so clearly to anyone who watches the gameplay is really bizarre, in all my years of following this hobby closely I've never seen such a blatant disconnection with reality.

this clearly shows that game outlets are useless, since they live on publishers payrolls they will not bite the hand that feeds them...
 
The Skill Up and MattyP videos are must watch for anyone on the fence. The dialogue and delivery is sooooooooooooooooo bad. It sounds like it was written for children.

I refuse to believe these are genuine reviews. Paid and astroturfed as fuck. had a feeling from the start that this game would receive a positive review, mainly because video game "journalists" align with its stance on gender politics.
Remember when these paid critics were shilling Concord? And nobody buying it.

That doesn't match with the review scores of concord which were terrible right?
